Hey everyone! It's the mid-nineties, and that new full motion video technology is taking the video game world by storm! All the experts are telling us that our silly old Nintendo and Sega games are going to fall by the wayside, and interactive movies are going to take over. If you want to get a taste of the future, you'd better get yourselves one of those CD-ROM based systems, like the Sega CD. Or even better, how about a 3DO Interactive Multiplayer from Panasonic? It gives you FULL SCREEN FMV in your movie-games. It's only $700. A bargain, right? Better start saving up now kids, or you'll be left in the digital dust!

...

Well, maybe not. While games did eventually gravitate towards trying to be more like movies, it was more of a gradual shift than an immediate sea change. The early attempts to make this transformation happen weren't welcomed by most, and the clunky use of full motion video in those games gave FMV a bad reputation that lingers to this day. However, there were a few movie-game attempts that ended up better than most of the drek, and that's where D comes in.
